Happy 4th of July

Tonight we had fried chicken from Jollibee, apples, oranges and apple juice. We took it to the picnic table at Rehoboth and had a picnic in the twilight as the bats were coming out. Then after we cleaned up the meal we were surprised with bottle rockets! What a treat! As we waited for them to be set up Josh and I sung a horrible rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. The first bottle rocket was stuck too firmly into the ground and it exploded right where it was. The middle two went up and exploded in the sky and the fourth flew away from us into the grass and exploded there. It was great. I did not even know that they could be purchased here. Since they are illegal in Montana it was my first experience with bottle rockets. I can see why they are illegal. Anyway it was so great. They kids were not to terribly impressed but the rest of us cheered and applauded. I have to admit that I was sad to be missing all the fun of the 4th. Now it turns out that we did not miss it at all.



Happy 4th of July to everyone and thank you to all that have made out freedoms possible!
